Gruden said department statistics show decreases in several offense categories since the last meeting, including assaults, burglaries, counterfeiting, loitering and vandalism. \"We've seen a decrease in overall offenses,\" he said, but added the department has increased DUI enforcement as a priority and that the number of detected DUIs has risen in part because of that enforcement emphasis.

He described recent local incidents in which suspects fled traffic stops, one that led to the use of a TASER and arrest, and a pursuit where suspects rammed a patrol vehicle and later crashed; suspects in the latter case were identified via license-plate-reader technology and arrested in coordination with Truckee Police Department. Gruden said some DUI suspects were also in possession of controlled substances, including cocaine, marijuana, MDMA and psilocybin in separate contacts.

Gruden warned residents about a common vehicle-theft tactic in the region: thieves removing plates from stolen vehicles and placing them on other cars, sometimes stealing front plates and registration stickers to evade detection. He encouraged residents to check Ring or other surveillance if they receive motion alerts and to report suspicious activity.

On phishing and scams, Gruden said many scams use voice-over-internet (VoIP) numbers from foreign countries, and that residents should verify any purported debt by contacting the billing entity directly rather than sending payment methods requested by scammers (gift cards, Apple Pay, etc.). \"No business, no government entity will ever contact you and ask you to send things through gift cards,\" he said.

Ending: The CAB thanked the deputy for the update; Gruden left the meeting after offering to provide more information if requested by staff.

\"The thing that has always confused me about our bike paths is I just find our signage very confusing,\" Davis said, showing photos of signs placed near both roadway bike lanes and adjacent paved multiuse paths. She asked the county to pursue low-cost fixes such as arrows on signs, painted legends on pavement (for example, \"no bikes\" on pedestrian paths) and clearer wayfinding to reduce user confusion.

Rental operators and residents described a mix of users — visitors, families and occasional cyclists — and raised concerns about electric bicycle types. Max Jones of Flume Trail Bikes and Jean of BigBlueBike Rentals (Hyatt) said rental shops provide orientation and safety bells on equipment. \"We do go over the bikes and how to use them... we're taking them outside and showing them the bicycles,\" Jean said. Max and other vendors suggested speed guidance for electric bikes and clearer signage distinguishing class 1 pedal-assist bikes from higher-speed models.

Several residents and CAB members pressed for clearer rules and local enforcement. Rhonda Tyser cited Nevada guidance that allows local governments to restrict e-bike use on specific paths and urged Washoe County and local districts (including IBGID, where relevant) to install definitive signage before summer visitor traffic increases: \"Just say that motorbikes and e-bikes are not allowed on those trails.\"

John Davidson proposed countywide limits such as a 15 mph maximum on all pathways and a 5 mph passing speed, plus a requirement that wheeled conveyances carry a bell or horn. CAB members and staff discussed options for short-term actions (signage and targeted education) and longer-term engineering solutions (lane widening or repurposing curb space). Alexandra Wilson, county staff, said the county will collect the CAB's suggestions and coordinate with planning and roads divisions and with NDOT where State Route 28 is involved.

The CAB also discussed outreach and education tools: rental-shop orientations, short safety videos, pamphlets for renters and visitors, and middle-school bicycle clinics. County staff said a short, produced safety video is feasible but may carry a production cost; the county will explore options and potential partners such as the Lake Tahoe Bike Coalition.

Ending: Members asked staff to compile the discussion into a coordinated list of short-, medium- and long-term recommendations to share with county planning, public-works staff and regional partners ahead of the summer season.","Residents, rental operators and CAB members called for clearer signage, speed guidance and coordinated county action after a CAB discussion showed mixed use paths, narrow bike lanes and growing e-bike use are confusing and potentially unsafe for visitors and locals.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6106072,"Placemate pilot gains early interest in Incline Village; county-funded incentives target seasonal homes",913,941000,1854000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2784420-eaf0de76aba754231f0461fe913447bd&start=941&end=1854","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2784420-eaf0de76aba754231f0461fe913447bd/thumbnail_941000.jpg","/articles/6106072/Nevada/Placemate-pilot-gains-early-interest-in-Incline-Village-county-funded-incentives-target-seasonal-homes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106072-8e052a07d2e7fa57adda2aef5344242b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771085495&Signature=fofrfAgtHEwp2yW5-Rz816~GZqD040MvYLJwRzouOcQ~GZrogFea5FP6rmlY8PDpY1PaKDRN6e3t4zky~pmr8Ib90Gc1Nf-e1AjkWXs5amV5~X6PJpesXP5KtYjgCDXl8AFCNGG8SVMNyHy375WAa9iY1j1c963b0fenLnSP9ZboZzQunRhTDklIajM5kh5CBBAw90xNMRqkuhwrU1aqnu87IDEO-k7PrtCtLIOjDfZhs5HcYg3mKLfRTGjlIyK7~~IhbGa5-3NSt-nUxiFDABD2sVw8906vrEAIFWdPcYHNzvwWmgK-rbvnf3H4C1cxvpIixUGYERQKx9cZMxJBdQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chase Janifer, general manager of Placemate, told the Incline Village–Crystal Bay Citizens Advisory Board that Placemate has launched a county-backed pilot to convert existing housing stock into longer-term rentals for local workers.

The program offers a one-time incentive intended to persuade property owners to convert units that have not been full-time rentals in the previous 12 months. \"It's a one-time incentive,\" Janifer said, adding that the program is designed to create new rental inventory quickly rather than fund new construction. He said the typical result across Placemate markets is that 70–80% of participants continue to rent after the incentive period.

Placemate described the program as a pilot that launched Feb. 1 and will accept new properties for an eight-month onboarding window. Janifer said incentive levels for the Incline Village–Crystal Bay market are $4,500 per qualified tenant for long-term leases (12+ months) and $2,000 per qualified tenant for seasonal leases, with a maximum of four qualified tenants per property (maximum $18,000 long-term; $8,000 seasonal). He said the Washoe County income cap for qualified tenants is 200% of area median income (about $141,000), and that the county grants department cuts checks directly to property owners after verifying applications.

Janifer said Placemate had recorded 31 property-owner leads in less than two months of operation: nine new leads the team was still trying to reach, eight not qualified or not interested (only one explicitly not interested), 16 indicating some degree of interest, and seven properties actively listed and searching for tenants. He said Washoe County provided funding for the pilot and that Placemate is contracted to manage outreach and the application process; the county’s grants department (point of contact: Gabriel Enfield) performs the final review and issues payments.

Board members and residents asked about program durability and the risk of owners taking the incentive and reverting to short-term rental use after a year. Janifer said follow-up data from other markets show a high renewal rate and that the incentive is intended to be a one-time payment that unlocks longer-term rental behavior. \"On average across all of our markets, it's between 70–80%\" renewal after the initial term, he said, and noted some markets saw renewal rates as high as 93%.

Members also pressed on how owners find tenants and whether Placemate controls tenant selection. Janifer said owners may list properties on Placemate’s site or use other channels; owners select tenants and Placemate only verifies eligibility against the program rules before submitting a package to county staff for payment. He said the program is not intended to be retroactive except that applicants have a 60-day window to submit after the start of a lease.

The presentation noted Placemate has operated in multiple Tahoe-area markets and reported that across its programs it has helped house more than 900 local workers with roughly $3 million in total grant allocations across markets. Janifer framed the program as a rapid, lower-cost complement to new construction for increasing available rental housing in tourism-dependent communities.

Janifer said the county pilot budget currently forecasts support for roughly 20–30 properties (the exact number depends on household size and bedrooms). He also said the initial contract uses federal ARPA funds to pay program administration and that longer-term funding would be the county’s responsibility if officials choose to continue the program beyond the pilot year.

Residents and CAB members encouraged more tracking of prior use (for example, whether a property was an STR/Airbnb), suggested outreach channels such as Nextdoor and rental listings, and asked that Placemate and the county ensure clear public information about program timelines and compliance. Janifer said Placemate would follow up with additional data (for example, the number of listings that were previously short-term rentals) and that staff contact Gabriel Enfield at the county grants office for payment processing questions.

Placemate said it will continue intake through the onboarding window and expects to return with further data on conversions and lease renewals.

Ending: Placemate staff encouraged property owners and tenants to contact the program directly through the Placemate portal and said county staff will post more program details; CAB members asked county staff to circulate the program timeline and to track next steps toward any extension or replenishment of funding.","Placemate told the Incline Village–Crystal Bay Citizens Advisory Board it has 31 property-owner leads and seven properties listed under a county-funded pilot that offers one-time cash incentives to convert short-term rentals or vacant homes to longer-term housing for local workers.","actionData","errors"]
